Saldehco Pty Ltd

Saldehco is a privately owned South African company that was established as a special purpose vehicle to take part in a Transnet tender (TNPA 2016/04/13/CM) focusing on initiative 2 of Operation Phakisa.

Operation Phakisa is an initiative of the South African government, designed to fast track the implementation of solutions on critical development issues. One of the key components of Operation Phakisa is an “ocean economy” strategy.

Initiative 2 aims in providing a marine services cluster to serve amongst other things the oil and gas activity off the coast of West Africa and South Africa in the port of Saldanha.

Our Project

The port of Saldanha is the largest and deepest natural port in the Southern Hemisphere, capable of accommodating vessels with a draught of up to 21.5m.

Our project looks to operate an offshore supply base in the port on a dedicated quay, as well as providing specialist and generalist services for both the oil and gas industry and the marine industry. We will look to build infrastructure that will allow the base to provide services to the global economy.

This will also allow downstream opportunities for small and medium scale enterprises in the Saldanha Bay for the provision of services such as accommodation, transport, sub-contracted technical work, and other related services. We will also look to work closely with Saldanha Bay Industrial Development Zone to provide skills development for the local communities.
